When I first started this blog, one of my mentors and guides to the blogosphere was The Evil DM aka Jeff Mejia (author of the brilliant Broadsword RPG).I asked him, as you can read in my Six Of The Best interview, how he attracted people to his site (Lair of The Evil DM).
The answer was simple: "The Wednesday Girl. You should see the spike of visitors on a Wednesday, and quite a few stay and look at other parts of the blog. I can tell because my tracking stat thingy tells me how long someone stays around. The Wednesday Girl thing may not be for everybody; but for my blog it works."
The Wednesday Girl has become quite an institution with The Evil DM's loyal readers and this week he posted entry number 100 for that prestigious segment of his website and I felt this was cause to celebrate (and an excuse to publish a picture of my favourite of Jeff's "girls").
While, obviously I would like the visitor numbers he gets on his site, I don't think I can justify a regular segment like this - and I'm pretty sure Rachel wouldn't approve - but every so often it's quite possible to slip in something "for the lads" on a geeky pretext!
... Such as this 'motivational' RPG poster from The Midnight's Lair forum.




Hah! I wasnt even counting.
